From Elite Athlete To Chiropractor
Dr. Brooke’s Life Changing Chiropractic Experience
I’m Brooke, the founder of Dr. Brooke Munion Chiropractic. My journey into healthcare and wellness started in the world of PCR biology, where I honed my skills in research and analysis. However, I soon realized that I wanted a more direct impact on people’s lives, especially in terms of their everyday well-being.
My personal experience as a competitive swimmer for over half of my life shaped my understanding of the importance of physical health. During my senior year of university, I faced a significant setback due to a back injury that caused uncontrollable twitching in my legs. Despite trying various treatments like muscle relaxants and pain medications, I didn’t find relief until I underwent a chiropractic assessment.
Within just two weeks of chiropractic care, I experienced a remarkable transformation. Not only did my physical pain diminish, but I also felt more energized and happier. By the end of the season, I was swimming at my best times, a testament to the profound impact of holistic healthcare.
This transformative experience fueled my passion to create Dr. Brooke Munion Chiropractic, where we prioritize personalized care and focus on addressing the root causes of our patients’ health issues. My goal is to empower individuals to take charge of their well-being and experience the same life-changing results that I did.

My Core Values
Transparency
I provide clear and honest insights into your health, addressing not just the presenting symptoms but identifying the root cause by considering the complete and wholesome biopsychosocial (biological – psychological – social) aspects of your well-being.
Empowerment

F.A.Q's
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free healthcare approach to treating and preventing problems in the musculoskeletal system (bones, muscles, joints, cartilage, tendons and ligaments).
During your first visit, Dr. Brooke will discuss your health history, perform a physical examination, and may order some tests if needed. She will then discuss her recommended treatment plan.
Treatment plans are tailored to every individual. Factors such as the severity, duration and nature of your injury will determine how often you will require treatment. Patients with an acute injury may need treatments twice a week over a number of weeks whereas patients who are managing an injury may only need to be seen once a fortnight or monthly. This will be determined by Dr. Brooke.
Chiropractic care can be safe and beneficial for pregnant women. Dr. Brooke uses gentle techniques specifically tailored to support expecting mothers.
In most cases, the answer is no. Dr. Brooke will conduct a comprehensive examination that includes a detailed discussion of your health history and a thorough physical assessment. This will allow her to get a clear picture of your situation. If, during the examination, Dr. Brooke feels an X-ray would be beneficial to gather additional information for a more precise diagnosis, she will discuss this with you and provide a referral for imaging.
No, you do not need a referral to see any of our practitioners privately. However, if you are wanting to be covered by Medicare under the Chronic Disease Management Plan (CDM) or the Enhanced Primary Care Plan (EPC) then a referral from your doctor is required.
An EPC plan offers individuals who meet certain criteria with the opportunity to have up to 5 sessions per calendar year covered by Medicare. Reach out to Dr. Brooke or your GP for more information.
A CDM plan offers individuals who meet certain criteria with the opportunity to have up to 5 sessions per calendar year covered by Medicare. Reach out to Dr. Brooke or your GP for more information.
The amount private health insurance covers is different for everyone as it depends on how much cover you pay for/have left for the year.
